Abstract :
‘Buddhism’ is not merely a religion of faith and practice
but it is a time tested scientific religion based on
spiritual materialism and dialectical reasoning. Buddhist
philosophy is far more relevant on crisis torn world today
for establishing world peace on a permanent basis.
Buddhism is an outstanding religious theological tradition-a
tradition of peace and harmony based on the philosophy
of philanthropic humanism and universal fraternity which
is a hallmark of Lord Buddha’s teachings transcending
all national racial social and cultural barriers. Buddhism
believes in the potential divinity of the universal human
soul. To Lord Buddha Dhamma is nothing but religious
righteousness as the true guiding spirit of humanity. Thus
Buddhism is the religion of peace as the enlightened path
finder and enkindled torch bearer for the universal mankind
which is based on the noble spiritualistic mission “Live and
Let Live, Help and Not Fight, Assimilation and Synthesis but
Not Destruction, Peace Tranquility Harmony and Happiness
But Not Dissension”.
In its true essence Buddhism is thus a great driving force
for global peace in the multipolar world today. Buddha’s
policy of peace, non-violence, self sacrifice, compassion,
charity and benevolence moulded the lives of thousands
of persons in the modern world.
Buddhism thus has an intimate association with the concept
of world peace. In today’s world where “an exhaustion of
spirit, an increase of egocentrcism, individual and collective,
which makes the ideal of a world society difficult to achieve.”
